科学活动for kids! As teachers, we always have good intentions to make science lessons exciting, engaging, and spark wonderment in our students. But in reality, the science activities for kids you see on Pinterest often require ingredients that you do not have at home. And what started off as a quick and easy idea, ends up including a trip to the shops and a whole lot of stress! This is commonly known as a Pinterest fail!
因此,为了确保您成功,我们发现了3 super easy science activitiesthat use household items and most importantly… they work!
应该指出的是 - 像这样的有趣的科学活动只是活动rather than science experiments. These activities are created to spark joy and for your students to have fun. But, they don’t actually teach the students how to conduct a real science experiment. This can be achieved by adding an extra layer to this activity and slightly modifying it to become a公平测试。进一步在博客中详细介绍如何进行每种科学活动时 - 我们将提出一种使其进行公平测试的方法。
What Is a Fair Test?
为了使实验成为一个公平的测试 - 您必须一次仅更改一个因素,同时使所有其他条件保持不变。这是一个很棒的YouTube视频,您可以向学生展示,以解释什么是公平的测试…
Turn your students into real scientists by followingThe Scientific Method呢重要的是,学生必须了解科学家在进行科学实验时会采取的步骤。
We have a greatscientific method posterwhich details each step clearly for kids.

(1) Rainbow Bubble Snake
Create a fun colourful serpent with some simple ingredients!
All you need is:
- 空塑料瓶
- Dishwashing liquid
- Old sock
- 橡皮筋
- 食用色素
- 一道水
做泡泡解决方案by adding water into a shallow dish and adding a few squirts of dishwashing liquid.
做蛇通过仔细切割瓶子的底部(成人需要帮助)。然后,将袜子放在瓶子的末端,然后将橡皮筋放在上面,以将其固定在适当的位置。
用一些气泡溶液将袜子的末端弄湿,然后在末端添加几滴食用色素 - 颜色越多 - 越多的颜色越多!
最后,再浸入袜子的结尾,然后吹过瓶子的另一端 - 您的彩虹蛇会开始生长……
The hydrogen atoms in one water molecule are attracted to the oxygen atoms in the other water molecules, making the bubbles attach to each other when they come out of the sock fabric. The bubbles are forming because of the air being blown into the soup solution. The air is getting trapped under the surface of the flexible soap skin, stretching it into a sphere shape.
Make it afair testby changing one variable, such as the material or perhaps a different sized bottle.
(2)创建熔岩灯科学活动
This is an oldie but a goodie!
All you need is:
- Two glasses
- Vegetable oil
- 水
- 食用色素
- Alka-Seltzer片
Firstly, mix half a cup of water with some drops of food colouring. You can make two different batches with different colours if you wish to make more than one lava lamp.
Then, fill a glass with vegetable oil (3/4 full). Pour some of the coloured mixture into the oil, being careful not to fill the glass too much.
加入一个Alka-Seltzer片剂,观察化学反应…
The Alka-seltzer tablets react with the water to produce carbon dioxide gas bubbles! These stick to the water droplets. The water/gas combo is less dense than the oil, so they rise to the top of the glass!
使this afair test通过更改添加的Alka-Seltzer量。一杯玻璃可以添加一台平板电脑,另一个可以有两个平板电脑,另一个可以有三片。怎么了?
(3)轻型科学活动的折射
Now, if they are all just all a bit too much. This science activity is for you!
All you need is:
- 一杯水
- 纸
- Pen
在纸上画一些东西。箭头是开始这项科学活动的绝佳视觉效果,因为很明显,当您将一杯水放在画箭的前面时会发生什么。但是,您不必将其限制为箭头。发挥创意,并绘制您想通过玻璃杯看到的任何东西。
When the light is passing through the glass of water, it refracts or bends. The glass of water acts as a cylindrical convex lens and produces an inverted image.
Create afair test通过更改一个变量。如果您更改玻璃的大小,会发生什么。或者如果您更改液体变量怎么办?它会改变结果吗?
